Helpful Score: 2
A beautiful first novel! The Rules of Civility presents a year in the life of Katey Kontent, a young woman living in New York. The book creates a vivid picture of New York society in 1938 - the tail end of the Depression and the brink of World War 2.
The "Rules of Civility" refer to the 110 ten rules for civil behavior as transcribed by George Washington. Whether or not they lead to civil behavior, you will discover in the book.
At the center of this book is the idea of how certain moments and certain decisions forever change the course of our lives and the lives of so many around us.
I spent two days straight reading the book!
